The home design process consists of four stages: Concept Design - Resolving your floor plan layout, site location, elevations, and roof design. Preliminary Design - Addressing planning constraints and developing general arrangement plans with cross sections. Developed Design - Finalizing general arrangement drawings and detailing the building. Consent Application - Providing a fully resolved design for building consent. Regular updates and discussions occur throughout the process. For larger projects, contract administration ensures quality, budget, and functional standards are maintained during construction.
We maintain a consistent presence throughout the design process. Our contract administration service includes regular inspections to ensure quality and standards. We follow Early Contractor Involvement (ECI), where we meet with you and the builder before starting on-site to outline standards and project objectives. Clear expectations and consistent communication ensure your needs are prioritized in every decision.
